Why was it that the Clinton administration spent more time & money chasing down Bill Gates than Bin Laden?

Answer 1

Because Bill Gates wasn't going to blow Clinton's head off if he went after him. Damn, there I go again with the Monica reference.

Answer 2

The obsessed cretinous little child has a Clinton obsession. Isn't this the 2nd term of shrub and you want to talk about Clinton?

Longing for the days of the booming economy and stock market? Low gas prices? A peaceful world where the U.S. isn't bogged down in a quagmire war in the Middle East?

Interesting that you would have a problem with the government going after a company that was trying to stifle capitalism and monopolize a market. Do you have a problem with capitalism?

Bin Laden was a bit player at that time, and if he was sooo important, you can ask the same question of shrub. Why didn't he strike at Bin Laden as soon as he got into office. You don't want to ask that question though, do you?

Answer 3

It's funny to me that you still focus on CLINTON not hunting down Bin Laden, when Bush did everything he could to stall the 9/11 investigation.

Except for the Reichstag fire in Germany, a reliable chairman is always quickly appointed to head a commission to investigate tragedies:
Titanic sinking - 6 days later.
Pearl Harbor – 9 days later, 1st of 4 commissions.
JFK assassination – 7 days later
Challenger disaster – 7 days later
9/11 - 411 days later, and even then the White House appoints Henry Kissinger to chair it. He’s an expert at cover-ups. Kissinger has said, "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." After universal outrage, Kissinger is withdrawn, and co-chairs Thomas Kane and Lee Hamilton are appointed (at 431 days). Hamilton is also a cover-up specialist, who was 0 for 4 in finding any malfeasance in his four prior commissions, which included Iran-Contra and the October Surprise, which cost Jimmy Carter the presidency. The White House chooses all the commissioners, who are all key insiders rife with conflicts of interest. Despite this, the media consistently refers to them as “the independent 9/11 commission.”
The commission has a $3 million budget, compared to $5 million for the commission that investigated casino gambling, $50 million for Challenger and $50 million for Clinton’s Whitewater deal. It’s later raised, but never exceeds $15 million. The Whitehouse releases only 25% of 11,000 documents requested, blacks out portions of documents released, resists testifying under oath, and tries to rush the commission’s deadline. Eventually, Bush and Cheney testify, but they refuse to do so under oath, it’s behind closed doors, no transcript is allowed, no tape recorders are allowed, Bush makes no opening statement, and those taking notes must submit them to security personnel. Afterwards, in commenting on their testimony, Bush says that Cheney did all the talking. All of this is what is referred to in the law as “guilty demeanor.” Their behavior only makes sense if they are covering up.

Answer 4

Bill Gates is easier to find.
Though to be fair it was a good use of anti-trust legislation. I don't entiely agree with the concept, but I do think if we have it, we might as well use it. Though it's interesting to see apple bundle so many features together now. One wonders if the popularity of the iPod with social activists will save them from future troubles.

If I was cynical I would say it was because Microsoft was bigger then Apple. Just like Saddam Hussein was bigget then Osama. Saddam got a lot more missile strikes then Osama did.

Answer 5

Because Bill Gates represents free enterprise and they knew where he was at all times. Bin Laden represents the oppressed people of the world - and that is the Democrats mantra - We support the oppressed and down trodden - when it meets our needs and keeps us in power.

Answer 6

Trying to take the focus off the fact that your guy has been looking for almost five years now and still can't find him? Hillary hit it on the head, you know. I'm sure you know which quote I'm talking about, being as obsessed with the Clintons as you seem to be.

Answer 7

Good morning.

Maybe to set an example to corporate America and try to fix the problems within. What a concept!

Answer 8

Ben laden was an ally; we need him that time. Now we need him also to keep oil countries under control.

Answer 9

because Dems are weak and clueless on defense. so says this vet
